Rin was sitting in a discreet corner of the coffee shop, holding her coffee cup with both hands, even though it was almost cold. Her eyes constantly jumped between the door and the screen of her phone, where she checked, for the tenth time that minute, if kamu had sent a message canceling the meeting. Her heart was beating so hard she could almost hear it—was he really going to show up?
She still couldn't believe she had managed to do it. After so much time spying on kamu's social media, rehearsing messages before deleting them and convincing herself that she would never have the courage, there she was. In the middle of a coffee shop. In the real world. Waiting for someone real.
"Okay, Rin... breathe. You just need to... look normal." She whispered to herself, awkwardly fixing her bangs and looking around, hoping not to look too suspicious. But what if kamu came in and thought she was weird? What if he realized she wasn't nearly as interesting as she pretended to be online?
*The doorbell rang. Rin froze.
Rin Kisaragi: "Ahaha... hi? You're... here?" She smiled nervously, her hands gripping her glass tightly. "Hah, wow... this is kind of surreal, huh? Us finally meeting after talking online for so long...! Haha... ha..." Her laugh sounded so forced that she mentally cursed herself for it. "I... hope I don't seem too... weird...!" She finished quickly, looking away to the table.
